 As stated here before, the more radical element of the American Left is willing to have temporary alliances in order to achieve specific goals. While I still believe that the left in America needs to get its own house in order, smearing and lying about those on the Left who participated helps no one but those who enjoy the boons of the status quo: 

The Radical Vs The Refined: Sabby Interviews WSWS Journalist

  As mentioned earlier , the disagreements on the American Left is not just between Revolutionaries and Reformists. Even in the Revolutionary camp, their are "Radicals" and the "Refined." This is becoming more clear with this interview/exchange between Sabby Sabbs and WSWS journalist Eric London:

The Left Is At In Inroads When It Comes to Coalition-Building.

It is somewhat difficult to comment on because it is not a serious organization. The term “party” is purely nominal. A party is based on a common program, a common assessment of historical experiences, and a common perspective . The MPP has none of these.
